Mr. Brown. Born of vengeance and bitter malice, the warrant for the minister's arrest has created one of the most astounding situations in the history of Salt Lake. <A minister of the gospel to be charged by a self-confessed vagrant with swearing to an untruth, to be compelled to defend his name from the blot of disgrace-and all because he brought about an enforcement of the law-is a thing seldom heard of in Utah courts. Taking Donaldson's own Statements for truth, gf the issues in the ease were hinged Upon the records and personalities of the two men, then Judge Diehl would not be long in deeciding the case, In this case, however, neither the accuser nor the accused has been weighed, and all of a ministerial career has counted for nothing in the face of a charge filed by a man confessedly a _ vagrant against whom a charge of promoting a prize fight is now pending. "Jim" Donaldson Confesses. "Jim" Donaldson is about fifty years old. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon a visit was made to his room in a rooming house on State street, u notorious habitat for the denizens of Commercial street and others who lead dissolute lives-this on authority of the chief of police. "Jim" was dressing when the visitor knocked on the door, and for ten minutes there was a heart-to-heart talk, He confessed that he was doing nothing, that he had been doing nothing for the last cight or ten years, and that he was not straining his eyes looking for work. "T've lived in Salt Lake a good many * sald Donaldson, my home. thing now, ter "and what as me. you They have they were to.

You may find "Jim" almost any night in the downtown districts, sometimes in saloons, someoree in worse places, often on the ers discussing apo', chatting with friendly: memeers of the Amertca ‘reform' part administration But you will not find him at work, un- less it is at a table with his sleeves rolled up, and in' the company other As a matter of fact, "Jim" has place of employment. He of no has no visi- ble means of support. Under the eyes of the law he is a Vagrant. His most intimate friends say: "Jim don't do much of anything but gamble." When "Jim" was working overtime to pull the prize Ent, he might have oo the vagrancy charge, because was engaged in something else that Paes for a little heavier fine. Now he is not promoting prize fights and confesses that he "ain't dein' much of anything." Party Needs But he has shown himself to be a dangerous parasite. Yesterday a number of the ministers and some attorneys of the city who have the interests of good goyernment at heart met and talked over the vagrancy laws. What action they will take will be seen by the developments of the next 24 hours, for "Jim" has made himself odious prize fight. One thing is ministers of Salt Lake Rev.
